- The third rainbow girl : the long life of a double murder in Appalachia / by Eisenberg, Emma Copley,author.;
- Includes bibliographical references (pages 317-318)."In the early evening of June 25, 1980 in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, two middle-class outsiders named Vicki Durian, 26, and Nancy Santomero, 19, were murdered in an isolated clearing. They were hitchhiking to a festival known as the Rainbow Gathering but never arrived; they traveled with a third woman however, who lived. For thirteen years, no one was prosecuted for the "Rainbow Murders," though deep suspicion was cast on a succession of local residents in the community, depicted as poor, dangerous, and backward. In 1993, a local farmer was convicted, only to be released when a known serial killer and diagnosed schizophrenic named Joseph Paul Franklin claimed responsibility. With the passage of time, as the truth seemed to slip away, the investigation itself caused its own traumas-- turning neighbor against neighbor and confirming a fear of the violence outsiders have done to this region for centuries. Emma Copley Eisenberg spent years living in Pocahontas and re-investigating these brutal acts. Using the past and the present, she shows how this mysterious act of violence has loomed over all those affected for generations, shaping their fears, fates, and the stories they tell about themselves. In The Third Rainbow Girl, Eisenberg follows the threads of this crime through the complex history of Appalachia, forming a searing and wide-ranging portrait of America-- its divisions of gender and class, and of its violence."-- Dust jacket flap.

- Memphis : a novel / by Stringfellow, Tara M.,author.;
- "In the summer of 1995, ten-year-old Joan, her mother, and her younger sister flee her father's violence to the only place they have left: her mother's ancestral home in Memphis. Half a century ago, Joan's grandfather built this majestic house for her grandmother--only to be lynched, days after becoming the first Black detective in Memphis, by his all-white police squad. This wasn't the first time violence altered the course of Joan's family's trajectory, and given who lives inside this house now, she knows it won't be the last. When her aunt opens the door, Joan sees the cousin who once brutally assaulted her. Over the next few years, she is determined not just to survive, but to find something to dream for. Longing to become an artist, she pours her rage and grief into sketching portraits of the women in her life--including old Miss Dawn from down the street, who seems to know something about curses"--

- No visible trauma [videorecording] / by Francoeur, Marc Serpa,screenwriter,film director,film producer,editor of moving image work.; Uppal, Robinder,screenwriter,film director,film producer,editor of moving image work.; Lost Time Media,film distributor.;
- In the midst of a global uprising against police violence and systemic racism, No Visible Trauma examines a deeply troubled police department and reveals the devastating consequences of unchecked police brutality. Despite its relatively low crime rates, recent years have seen the Calgary Police Service shoot and kill more people than officers in any other Canadian city, and more than either the New York or Chicago police departments in 2018. Five years in the making, the film unravels the intertwined stories of three individuals who were the victims of extreme violence at the hands of police officers. From the kidnapping and beating of a young immigrant from Ghana, to the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during a "wellness check", the film exposes a criminal justice system that fails to hold police officers accountable for their actions.E.Subtitled for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH).DVD.

- I hope we choose love : a trans girl's notes from the end of the world / by Thom, Kai Cheng,author.;
- "What can we hope for at the end of the world? What can we trust in when community has broken our hearts? What would it mean to pursue justice without violence? How can we love in the absence of faith? In a heartbreaking yet hopeful collection of personal essays and prose poems, blending the confessional, political, and literary, acclaimed poet and essayist Kai Cheng Thom dives deep into the questions that haunt social movements today. With the author's characteristic eloquence and honesty, I Hope We Choose Love proposes heartfelt solutions on the topics of violence, complicity, family, vengeance, and forgiveness. Taking its cues from contemporary thought leaders in the transformative justice movement such as adrienne maree brown and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, this provocative book is a call for nuance in a time of political polarization, for healing in a time of justice, and for love in an apocalypse."-- Provided by publisher.

- The time has come : why men must join the gender equality revolution / by Kaufman, Michael,1951-author.;
- "From founding the White Ribbon Campaign, the largest organized effort in the world of men working to end violence against women, in the early 1990s to his appointment as the only male member of the G7 Gender Equality Advisory Council, Michael Kaufman has been a major figure in the fight for gender equality for decades. Now, in The Time Has Come, he issues a stirring call for men to get involved in the struggle for a more feminist culture. Expertly mixing his personal experiences, insights gleaned from his decades of work around the globe, and data on the state of our society, Kaufman explores topics ranging from domestic violence to parental leave. He also grapples with how toxic masculinity helps, and hurts, men, and how men can be better allies in this effort. Informative and provocative, The Time Has Come is an essential work towards building a better, more equal world."--
